Missouri City Police Chief Mike Berezin, who has served with the Missouri Police Department for more than 34 years, announced his retirement on Wednesday.
According to a release, after his more than three decades in public service, Berezin rose through the ranks from Patrolman to Detective, Sergeant, Lieutenant, Commander, Assistant Chief, and Acting Chief before being promoted to Chief of Police in 2014. In 2016, Berezin went to Washington D.C. and spearheaded the implementation of President Obama's Task Force Report on 21st Century Policing. The most important pillar — Pillar Four — is community policing and crime reduction.
"I’ve been in public service in multiple capacities, and I can say without hesitation that it’s unusual to have had a distinguished police chief for so long," said City Manager Angel L. Jones. "While I don’t want to see Chief leave, he has without a doubt played a significant role in public safety and to countless residents throughout the city."
Officials said among the many accomplishments during his time as Chief of Police, Berezin led efforts to:- Establish the initial motorcycle traffic enforcement unit - Promote transparency for Missouri City Police policies and procedures by ensuring they are readily available on the City’s website - Publish a comprehensive Annual Report with detailed crime statistics, arrest information and a demographic breakdown of the Bureau of Police"It has been an honor to serve alongside some of the finest people the Lord has ever created," Berezin said in a news release. "I shall always remain grateful for the privilege of sharing my professional life’s journey with you."
